Welcome to the Homepage of the Water Supplies Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.

Water is an essential element for all living creatures. Therefore, it is always a prime objective in our mind to ensure the provision of a reliable and clean water supply for some 6.9 million people in Hong Kong, quietly supporting the economy and prosperous development of society. To let you know more about the water you take in every day, we cordially invite you to browse through our Homepage and see for yourself with the topics of interest inside such as water treatment, water quality and the development of our water supply system etc. A variety of statistical, customer service and educational information relating to the services of the Water Supplies Department are also made available in this web site for the ready access of the public.

You will notice from the water quality data publicized that the quality of our drinking water has for years been among the best in the world. However, while water is taken as a matter of course in the daily routine of people here in Hong Kong, we will try to arouse their awareness of the value of water, in a world in which this vital resource is rapidly diminishing, and make known the importance of water conservation by conducting publicity campaigns.

We hope this Homepage will be of great value to you and we very much welcome your suggestions and comments on our services and our web site. Do enjoy surfing in our Water World.

Mr. MA Lee Tak, JP
Director of Water Supplies
